I frequently post unpopular hated opinions on Daily Kos. Not because I hate everyone, or because I like to troll, or even because I’m a closet neo-con (I’m not). I post them because, unlike Trump’s supporters, I expect liberals to actually think. To be able to view other, even opposing, points of view without losing their shit...cool.
Unfortunately, that expectation seems to be unreasonable. I get a lot of personal attacks that are rarely on message. Now, my feelings aren’t hurt, because….well no one who actually thinks will pay too much attention to an “echo chamber,” which i why I post unpopular hated opinions. People need to periodically re-examine their beloved truths, and not spend all their time patting themselves on the back for going along with their fellows. That fallacy should be confined to the Trump-ites.
Now, I’m not asking that people stop ad hominem attacks. I think they should be allowed to express themselves - however poorly. But I would like to petition the Daily Kos “powers that be” to at least whitelist some humourous pictures. If I can’t make people think, I’d at least like to make them laugh.
